Jamie Oliver

When IHCC did recipes from Jamie Oliver I missed it. 6 months of it. Now I have a chance to make up for it – a little – by cooking with him as January’s Chef of the Month. You may remember him as The Naked Chef not because he cooked sans clothing but because he used natural ingredients in his cooking. Simple ingredients. Simple methods. Great taste.

Smoky mixed-potato wedges

Naked roasted sweet potatoes and russets. So simple you don’t really need a recipe. Cut your potatoes into wedges. Toss with salt, pepper, paprika and Olive Oil. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes at 400 and you have a tasty side. The recipe is HERE and is from Jamie’s Kitchen Garden Project.

I made 1/2 of the recipe ( one sweet potato, one russet) and it was plenty for two. And the sweetness of the sweet potato with the savory of the russet made an interesting mouth flavor.
